Have you ever been blamed for something you didn’t do, but no matter how much you say you didn’t do it they still don’t believe you? Well that’s what happened to Jace in Cssanrda Clare’s City of Ashes. First he gets kicked out of his home, then he is put in jail because the Inquisitor thinks he is working for Valentine,(Jace’s dad.) I’ve been accused of things I didn’t do and that made me angry, but to be thrown in a jail that you can’t even see your own hand in front of your face would just make me furious and crazy. Plus he has to deal with the internal struggle of joining his father or not,love his sister has brother sister or something else. I don’t think I could deal with that and still think straight enough to get out of the situation I was in.
While he was in jail, Valentine attacked the Silent City and stole the mortal instrument. Of course the Inquisitor accused Jace for the crime. I really don’t like her. She reminds me of a teacher I had in third grade. While the Inquisitor is acting like a tyrant to Jace, he discovers that she is preparing to trade Jace to Valentine for the mortal instrument. Jace tries to tell her it won’t work but what does she do, she doesn't believe him. I don’t understand why grownups are so unwilling to trust the younger generation even though they don’t know them at all. And if you have any sort of dark secret in your past or are affiliated with anyone who does, good luck getting people to trust you. Oh well in the end he escapes, Clary destroys the ship and the world is saved. YIPPEEE. Every one's happy. This book was very good.
